Mastic Tears Mitilini Dry Gin 750ml

Mastic Tears Mitilini Dry Gin is a Greek gin distilled with mastic, the aromatic resin harvested from mastic trees native to the island of Chios, alongside traditional gin botanicals like juniper. Mastic gives the gin a distinctive piney, slightly sweet resinous note layered over the usual juniper backbone — a flavor that's hard to find outside Greek spirits. It's distilled in small batches, aiming for a gin that reads as recognizably Mediterranean rather than a standard London Dry copy. It suits gin drinkers looking for something genuinely different from the usual citrus-and-juniper formula.

How to drink Mastic Tears Mitilini Dry Gin

A simple gin and tonic lets the mastic resin come through clearly — skip heavy garnishes that would compete with it. It's also worth trying neat once, just to taste the mastic on its own.
